Even if .top and .xyz are the biggest new top-level domains, I have not seen anyone in Sweden using these. Feel free to comment if you see any. They are probably just used for speculation so far.

.one was the largest in Sweden a year ago and has continued to grow during the year. The last 4-5 months however, have slowed and from November .one has decreased overall. The most logical explanation is that .one has passed its first renewal period and has for the first time started to lose domains.

The upside for .se and .nu

All other top-level domains in the list, both this year and the previous year, are fairly small and show no growth. On the contrary, some are already on the way down.

As a reference, .se has passed the 1.4 million mark and increased with about 40,000 domains this year. The year’s biggest winner, however, is the top-level domain .nu, that grew from 303,000 in 2015 to 343,000 domains.
